IPhoto Book Sign In Problems

I've been trying to buy a photo book and I get to the sign in page for the check out but after I put in my ID and password it just goes back to the sign in page. I have everything on my computer up to date, and have changed my password and shipping details.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Go to the online store account section
and reenter all of your account information, i.e. erase each field and reenter your information. Make sure 1 click purchasing is activated. Then try try again.
NOTE: be sure to make a PFD preview of your book before ordering to check or any errors (typos are my biggest headache) and to have something to compare to the hard copy when you recieve it. How to is described here: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it

Cannot upload iphoto book

I cannot upload my iphoto book. No problem last week, but I have made another one and it will not upload.

Details Please - what version of iPhoto and of the OS?
does the preview work correctly? Any error messages?
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
if it does and it will still not upload then boot into safe mode, preview again (fonts can change) and it the preview is still good upload while in safe mode

IPhoto 09 Book and Crashing Problems

I've been running into significant problems while constructing a 100pg book within iPhoto 09 that came pre-installed on my macbook pro. To start, the issue seems to be only affiliated with the iphoto book function (calendars seem to work just fine).
Here's what I'm experiencing:
I was in the process of creating a 100pg book. I had approximately 80 pages constructed. During my last session, I constructed the remaining 20 pages, and then began the process to submit the file for printing. It had significant issues suggesting that there were problems throughout my book. When submitting for printing, it indicated I had a problem and needed to resolve it before submission. At this point, looking through the book in iphoto appears to work absolutely fine with no exclamation points of any type.
As a troubleshooting step, I attempted to preview the file to a PDF. It had multiple errors and took a significant time to output because 20-or-so times, I had to click on a message indicating there was an error on a specific page.
So, continuing on, the file output with various problems. I then attempted to adjust the pages that had the problems (replacing photos, etc). During this process iphoto crashed. Upon reopening iphoto, I was unable to access the book at all - iphoto would simply crash.
In desperation, I restored the initial 80-page version. Now I've got that, and I certainly could go through the process of recreating the next 20 pages, but I wanted to verify that I wouldn't run into problems. In testing that, the crashing behavior is still present.
Next, I renamed the iphoto library and allowed iphoto to create a new and blank library. I readded the 5200 photos that I am sifting through for the book. Attempted to create a new book, added the 5200 photos, and then, without even putting an image on a page, tried to remove a photo from the book listings. At this point, it crashes. This is a new library, new file, new import, and same crash.
I've spent hours and hours and hours, and I'm no technological luddite. I am needing some solutions. Can anyone out there help me out?
If need be, I could provide a detailed error log that the crash produces, but as it's pages and pages of info, I thought I'd wait until someone asks me for it.
Thanks for your insights.

1 - Apple does not have a problem - you do - this is a problem with your set up not with iPhoto
2 - this is a user to user forum so addressing Apple here has no value
3 - how are you previewing that fails - using the directions here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 ? How does the preview fail? BTW the fact that you can not create a preview is directly connected to your inability up upload and is connected to the problem with your system

Just got off the phone with apple support. If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.
Happy Holidays

Hi, I have problems in ordering book from iPhoto. It says "problems in getting contact with Apple Online Store" I have changed password on my Apple ID - could that be the problem ??

Some additional efforts you can try:
Go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked.
If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.

Iphoto Book Text Problems

The first page of the Iphoto book is setup for text. When I insert what appears to be an appropriate amount of text, I receive the the red exclamation point. I have tried shrinking the font, reducing the amount of text and starting over with a clean page. i still get the warning sign despite the fact that everyting looks fine.

Make sure you have no hidden returns at the end of the text. Place the cursor at the end of the text and use the Forward Delete key multiple times to get rid of any possible hidden characters, returns, etc. at the end.
Then, as Larry pointed out, if the PDF preview file of the book displays the text as you want it the book will print the same. Just save the pdf file to compare to the printed copy when it arrives.

HT3412 why will my iphoto book not upload? I have previously uploaded to books without any problems.

I am unable to upload my iphoto book for printing. I have previously uploaded two books without problems. It gets through the assembly step and the blue bar fills up the Upload bar except for a "hair" at the end, then I get the message that upload has failed. Cancel order or try again.

Preview yout book using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040

HT1040 I have a full page photo in a iPhoto book that is splitting into two sections across 2 pages. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Have you selected the spread layout?
If so change it to a single page full page layout

Problems with Captions in IPhoto Book

I received the IPhoto book I ordered yesterday. Six pages contain mistakes in the photo captions. In all instances the mistakes are misprints of dates (ex (048 instead of 1948). I have looked through the discussion threads and haven't come across anyone who has had this problem. I've emailed Apple Support but wonder if anyone else has had this problem. How can it be solved?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Contact Apple via their iPhoto customer service page, http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/. You should be able to get a refund. Others have reported success in doing so with incorrect books. Good luck.

Iphoto book upload problem

When purchasing a Book, iTunes assembles the book then goes to submit but stalls. Tried 3 times with no success
Solutions anyone?

I was experiencing this same problem:
1. Upload goes very quickly (a few seconds whether 10 Mb or 33 Mb).
2. Then I'd get an error message indicating "An error occurred while uploading one of your files. Please check your network connection and click Retry to resend your file"
3. I'd click the Retry button and it would indicate a successful transfer.
4. Shortly thereafter, I'd receive the cancelled order e-mail from Apple.
I am using iPhoto 5.0.4.
After a lot of scouring of the Apple KnowledgeBase and mostly of this forum, I tried many things, none to any avail.
I suspected finally that there may be some kind of network interference or interrution, so first I quit all apps that might access the Internet (e.g., Mail, Safari, iChat). Still no success.
Then I realized I had Earthlink TotalAccess and WeatherBug running in my menu bar. I quit both of these "mini" apps and voila! My upload of my 33 Mb book was successful (it took about ten odd minutes with a DSL connection over old clunky phone lines).
My suspicion is that it was Earthlink TotalAccess which is constantly sending out and receiving a lot of Network info. It's a very old app and not very "Mac-ish" anyway.
It may be that any high data transfers (i.e., photos) can be sensitive to this kind of frequent network traffic. Some have blamed Apple, but now that I think of it, I have had similar problems uploading large quantities of photos to the major services (KodakGallery, Shutterfly, and Snapfish). I even was trying sharedink.com as an alternative and had the same problem with a failed upload of my iPhoto book pdf file.
Hope this helps!

Problems buying an iPhoto book!

Hi
I've made an iphoto book that I really like. I've spent tons of time making it and I finally tried to buy it. The upload went through without a problem and I got a confirmation and everything. The problems is that after two days I got an e-mail saying that "the file Apple received contains shifted and discolored images". They recommended making a preview of the book befores buying it, and I have done that and in the preview some of the pictures come out all wrong with wrong colours and disfigured images.
Can anybody help me? How can I fix this so that the pictures on my book look normal??
I really, really want to buy this photo album, so I hope someone can help me!

HT1040 upload problem iPhoto book

while ordering iPhoto book,
uploading is interrupted everytime by own process.
What to do?

It would help if you gave some details like the version of iPhoto and of the OS and the exact error message you are getting - we know nothing about your or your system except what you tell us
the general answer is
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
If the preview is good order - if you have a problem then boot into safe mode and order

Problem with preview of iPhoto book cover

A friend has assembled a book in iPhoto and we have previewed it by going to File-Print and choosing to open a pdf in Preview. The pdf preview looks fine except for the front cover in which the image and text appear enlarged and shifted, cutting off the top of the cover photo. Attempts to insert a photo with a white border just give the same result - the picture is cropped and shifted.
We then looked at a previous iPhoto book which David has had successfully printed through the Apple book ordering system. This shows exactly the same fault on the cover when opened as a pdf in Preview.
Can we be confident that the new book will also print correctly despite the incorrect cover preview? David is using iLife 09 on a 24" iMac running OS X 10.5.8.

Use the recommended preview method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
Assume that it will print exactly like this preview shows - you can save the resulting PDF for reference

Problem with iPhoto Book and pictures

Hello,
When i create a photo book with iphoto, i havent got my photo in the real size. iphoto crop my photos.
Other thing : is it possible to insert a 16/9 photo ? Choose the size of the picture : like square, panoramic ... ????
Thanks for your help.

You cannot change the actual sizes of the frames in the books. You can make some adjustments to the way your photo is displayed by double-clicking on it. You can resize the photo and move the photo within the frame, but that is about all you can do.
For information about the iPhoto books, check out this website: http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/
I hope this helps.
